 directly. Simply implement one of the generated traits, and you're off to the
 races! See the tarpc_examples package for more examples.
 
+## Example: Futures

+Here's the same server, implemented using `FutureService`.

+#![feature(conservative_impl_trait, plugin)]
+#![plugin(tarpc_plugins)]
+
+extern crate futures;
+#[macro_use]
+extern crate tarpc;

+}

+
